deliver a message from the obama administration on what washington expect kie re t cairn the white so weeks and months a. how can they move toward working toward democracy. the trip was unannounced and that was denying egypt the ability to say look the united states is in support of what we have been doing here politically in the past five months. so by having this unannounced trip the u.s. was able to send a message that it does disapprove of what has happened. that said, the u.s. also is making it very plain and we heard this from secretary kerry on sunday that the u.s. looks to egypt as a security partner across the middle east. they have had a long standing military relationship. egyptian soldiers train here in

the u.s. and the u.s. looks to egypt to-mayb to maintain secur. particularly with the park par f israel with the u.s. has a peace treaty and they look to egypt to make sure that insurdon'surgecss don't get a toe hold. egypt has had an outside amount of influence in regional politics and the u.s. sees that in the long-term interest it is best to be an ally of egypt rather than have a political and diplomatic rupture. and kerry is making a trip to saudi arabia how significant is that visit? >> when you consider up until the past three months or so, the relationship between riad and washington was unquestionably a strong one. this is an important visit for kerry to make.

the saudis have been very concerned that the obama administration simply hasn't done enough to try to bring the sistlecivil war in syria to an . they have made their pleasure known. one by not taking one of the permanent seats on the u.n. security council and deciding not to take part in certain diplomatic and military operations with the u.s. where these things would happen otherwise. this is a chance for the saudis to express their concerns to kerry not just about syria, but also about iran. the saudis are concerned about iranians assuming a greater role in politics. kerry has to listen to these concerns and try to placate the saudis the best he can. >> the first time since egyptian president morsi was doug deposed pictures of him emerge.

ouwithout access to food or healthcare or education they hive iforthe time they live in s they lose skills. >> we have o orphan sunday. we visited one church that participated in today's orphan sunday activity. christina how was it today? >> well, johnathan, church organizers told me that if every family in every church in the u.s. adopted one child this would be no need for orphanages. she faithfully attend weekly service at her church in florida. on orphan sunday she shared her personal journey of adopting two children while driving in

brazil. now as the coordinator of orphan ministries for her church, she encourages others to do the same. >> we get thinking what might have happened with the other kid that don't have the same situation as our children that are adopted now. >> she says that as many as 145 million children around the world have lost both of their parents. >> we bring awareness also for everybody that they need to be adopted not only to be helped, but actually the main help we can do is to adopt them. >> her church also assists with fog aswith foster children in that. >> to raise funds for his house and other orphanages to help them, you know, bring that awareness and bringing that love and bringing whatever they need that they can provide that god has given us. >> churches in more than 30 states and over 50 nations

celebrated orphan sunday this year. some critics accuse the eva evangelical movement of ignoring child issues such as child trafficking. they have acknowledged those concerns, but a statement from the international organization christian alliance for orphans say they miss the broader point. without the protection of caring families children face huge risk of sex trafficking and famine and extreme poverty and other apewsepewsabuses. lauren doesn't dispute those allegations, but her organization has a thorough vetting process. >> it's a sad story to be told if those facts are there and i'm sure they are. his house is his hour house ande try to protect him. >> the spokesperson for his house in the 25 years of ministry they have never had a

parent accused of abuse. johjohnathan. >> i wonder how popular i is tht to that church. >> well there are 500 families that quites sivisit the church y week and they take turns to visit the adoption home. and how many adoptions have they facilitated. they recently had placed two children from brazil and in the last three years they have helped place 12 children in brazil with families in that country. >> interesting christina thank you for your time tonight. >> we want to talk more about this and joining us from birmingham, alabama is david he has been critical of the

evangelical adoption movement. >> i want to talk about your personal story you made headlines after you realized your two daughters you adopted had been kidnapped from an orphanage in india, correct? >> well, you are right, they have been taken from their family, but they had been taken by the orphanage rather than from the orphanage thank you t h kidnapping. >> i'm sorry, johnathan, go on. >> i wanted you to finish that story there. tell me what happened when you tried to adopt those two girls. >> sure. well this was 1998. we went through a proper accredited agency that linked to an orphanage in india. they told us these precious girls had been left by their mother, she wanted them placed.

we love them and they were sweet girls. but it turned out their mother had only placed them for education and had come back for them and turned away. this turned out to be a systemic part of a scandal in india where orphanages took children to place them because of the amounts of money they received in fees from agencies. >> so how did you realize after you adopted the girls that they should is no not have been adopd out? >> well, that's a long story. but suffice it to say it was tragic and heart breaking to be back in india with their mother six or seven years after we first greeted the girls and to realize that we had unwittinglieliy used.

to hold the more in my arms and have her weep and to know this cultural gap that had been created. and the girls had been here too long to being acclimate to indn society. this was an older child acomes. we reunited them when they were 18. this set us on a course to see if this happened to only us or happened to other people. i have learned as a professor that adoptions from china and nepal and many countries this has been a systemic problem because m naive americans workig with naive agencies offer too much money per child and corrupt international adoption systems. international adoption is up by two-thirds since 2004. >> what do you make of this movement of eva evangelical

christian community to encourage adoptions and to have a an event called orphan sunday. >> i think they have good hearted people. you see the misleading rhetoric. the quote of 145 million o orphs is totally misleading unicef says 90 percent of those have one parent and are living with one parent. that is put out there as a statistic to promote international adoption. what most orphans are poor children living in poor families or who have maybe lost one parent. the intervention that the christian church for 2000 years has been doing and doing well is to assist poor families in keeping their chirp. children. there is a need for some to be adopted. we have 100,000 children waiting

to be adopted from the foster care system here in our country. and the movement has done a good job to try to promote foster care that we stepped forward in that role. and foster to adopt inside of the u.s. the movement has started to do a good job of promoting adoption within other countries. i have been in pa stil brazil al this last fall. i visited an orphanin orphanage. and there are certainly some children in those orphanages that need placed, but they are overwhelmingly placed inside of brazil and there is a waiting list inside of brazil to adopt young and healthy children. >> thank you, david for your time. we are running out of time on this. thank you for your time tonight. >> there is the ordinar other se want to get to. it's jed and he is the president

of the christian alliance for orphans the group that organizes orphan sunday. jed thank you for being with us. >> with all of the christian causes out there, why focus on adopting children. >> well the real focus is bringing good to orphans. it include adoption, but it include other type of care. foster care in the united states and family preservation and reuniting struggling families and all of this is under the banner. the bible says god cares deeply for the orphan and we should as well by encouraging this do you not encourage parents to adopt that are not prepared for it. >> that is something you have to guard against. adoption is a great under taking. children with significant wounds and they require a lot of patience and love and tenderness. that is something we encourage people thinking of adoption to o

take seriously. what about the thoughts that christians are so blind by their want to help that they don't see the trafficking and the problems with adoption. >> we have to listen to criticism. any time there is a risks of error and unintended consequence. christians need to be the first to root those things out. >> how do you root those things out and making sure that the parents that you are encouraging to adopt are adopting children that a i departmentable. do. --. >> without the influence of outside money distorting the process local officials decide can this child be reunited with their birth parents. and if there are no local families that are willing and able to take those orphans in

then you turn to inner country adoption. i don't think we need to pit the two against each other. americans must step up to the 100,000 children in foster care that need adopting. at the same time there are 18 million children around the world who have last both of their parents according to unicef and christians are needed there as well. all people of good well are needed there. >> you were quoted in the christian scientist monitor. when you are in grave danger do you erro worry that too many christians look at themselves as heros. we can focus on ourselves and look at ou ourselves as heros. we look at our solutions are the boast. instead of coming in and listen

being and learning first and then moving forward with the help that children need. >> are you encouraging these families to push the christian belief on these children or do you encourage them to try to adopt the children's native identity? >> well you know, any parent whether biological or adoptive is going to want to share the things they value the most with their children. if you are a progress sieve family you want to pass on the progressive values. and the same with any christian family they want their children to experience the same vision of god as a loving father. at the same time if we are simply motivated by. >> it's a controversial topic we appreciate your time tonight. >> my pleasure. >> india's festival of lights is underway. during celebrations for the holiday called diwali. they light lamps and set off

fire crackers. but this year foreign production is making it a little less you a authentic. prayers are an important tradition during diwali the festival of light. apart from from prayers thisdii is less tradition. >> these chinese ones are brighter and cheaper. in china the production is much higher. >> a local business association says at least a third of consumers are buying chinese made decorations for diwali. but some local manufacturers have adapted by buying chinese imports. the trading of chinese products here and they feel that is much more profitable than rather manufacturing. although the country's biggest festival good prices or better

calquality are more important tn a made in india label. it's not just decorations that are losing their local flavour this diwali. sweets made of butter and milk are being replaced by foreign flavors. cupcakes, cookies and chocolates made from european and american recipes have become more popular each year thanks to a growing middle class with a taste for treats. people still maintain old traditions. markets like this one selling hand made dec decorationings del busy. >> if you are getting something made right in front of you and why would you want to pie something fro -- buysomething f? it's good enough. >> diwali celebrates the victory of good over evil. while for some foreign made

products may take away from tradition. for others it's still a festival of lights no ho matter how it'st or sounds. >> and coming up next in sports. can the kansas city chiefs remain up defeated. >> and actor george takei talks about his former secret life and all of the acting he did off the big screen. it seemed like a normal adoption >> do you think this family has a lot of secrets? >> it's like there's an open book as far as the family goes. >> (son - off screen) i fully believe that i was adopted by strangers.
